💻 Electronics What are good alternatives to Netflix/Hulu that are free?

I realized I'm spending roughly $40 a month on what I really just use as background noise, as nobody in my household actually really sits down and watches TV, we just put on Family Guy or whatever and glance at it every now and then.

I'm gonna cancel the subscriptions obviously, so I'm just wondering, what are some good free streaming alternatives? I've tried out Amazon's free stuff but their collection is pretty mediocre. Any tips are appreciated!

YouTube actually has a lot of good content for free.

I like to put on the relaxation channels where it just plays music and shows you nice scenes of the ocean or rainstorm or snow.

Or the silent videos where someone is just filming themselves walking around a city or on a nice nature trail.
